Spotted Bass
If you're looking to target spotted bass in Alabama, Valley Head offers some excellent opportunities. The streams and rivers in this area, particularly those with rocky bottoms and clear water, are prime habitat for these aggressive fighters. While not as large as largemouth, spotted bass are known for their hard strikes and acrobatic leaps. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target them, as they become more active in cooler water temperatures. Focus on areas with current, such as riffles and runs, and use lures that mimic their natural prey, such as small minnows and crayfish. A local tip: many of the streams are best fished by wading, so be sure to wear appropriate footwear and be mindful of slippery rocks. The spotted bass in Valley Head are typically in the 1-3 pound range, providing a fun challenge for anglers of all skill levels.
